About This Book

This book is about the need to drastically reduce to .1% or less the frequency of wrongful conviction and to exonerate the thousands of wrongly convicted inmates now in prison. The United States has a large wrongful conviction problem, and it's a travesty. This book presents 80 Proposals to STOP the problem. The forensic DNA revolution, which produced its first wrongful conviction exoneration in 1989, has led to some changes in the U.S. criminal justice system but not nearly enough. In the history of criminal justice systems, the people wrongly convicted over the centuries always knew what had happened to them, but few others knew or cared. Now we all know. The book provides 80 practical proposals for national reform of the criminal justice system in order to reduce the frequency of wrongful conviction to .1 percent or less.
